church graphic Squares

My brother taught me this one, but I'm sure it's been around for ages.

Materials needed: Pen or pencil, paper

Object: Complete more squares than your opponent.

Game Play: On a piece of paper, make a grid of dots. The grid can be any size, but the larger the grid, the longer the game.

dot grid

Each turn consists of the player connecting just two adjacent dots with one small line, diagonal lines not allowed.

grid with some lines

If the line you draw completes a "box" around one of the grid squares, you write your initial inside the square and take an extra turn.

The game ends when the whole grid is filled with claimed squares. The most squares wins. If it bores you to play a game where your entire turn consists of drawing a small, straight line, try the next exciting game.
